Chronicles of The Hardships of Komachi in The Sengoku Era

The Hojo Gathering, one of the two main goals of the Eastern Gathering, was announced to be greatly postponed.Originally, the deferral was repeated due to weather irregularities, but due to the situation in the northeast, it was decided to review the plan itself.

Naturally, this is a postponement and not a discontinuation.For the Hojo side, it is a good thing that I have earned my life in nine deaths, but for the Oda family, whose productivity, economic power, and military power are all outweighed, this will work in favor.

As the difference in basic abilities has been decisively opened, this difference will continue to open unless something is done.

Nevertheless, the Hojo side continued to waste a lot of time discussing this value of thousands of dollars, as it became known as the "Odawara Reputation" in historical reality.

At that time, Shizuko was confirming the territorial management plan in the land of Ogura.As a punishment for ultra vires acts related to smallpox control, the territorial management plan has risen from the administrative side when there was a 10% increase in annual profits, and it can be confirmed as a figure that there is no room for unexpected large expenses.

In this era, there is no clear distinction between the private property of the lord and the operating funds of the territory.However, it was different with regard to Onari, and there was a clear distinction between the private property of Shizuko, the lord, and the funds invested by the lord in the operation of the territory.

And while Shizuko's enormous private property swelled, Shizuko was trying to cover 10% of the penalty from his wallet.

As for Shizuko's feeling, it is only a weight on the economy, such as the property that keeps dying, and I even thought that it is a ship that releases in the form of taking responsibility for arbitrariness.

But Shizuko's hearts didn't like it.If Shizuko was to be punished alone, he strongly disagreed that it would be a disgrace to the people of Ozhang until the end.

Shizuko made the final decision this time, but since the hearts and minds are convinced and participate in it, it is reasonable to treat this as the general idea of Ogura.

Meanwhile, the residents were repeatedly told by grandparents and parents of the fear of smallpox, so they even supported Shizuko's judgment as a beauty talk.

If we talk about people without body or lid, even ordinary people are rich in tailoring so much that they can afford to think about others, but it is Shizuko's arm that built them all over the years.

As a result, a huge amount of money from tailoring went to other territories, and it seemed that the economy would temporarily stagnate.In contrast, Shizuko spread a lot of public works across Ogura by throwing personal wealth so as not to waste the hearts and minds and the preferences of the residents.

After all, it may seem like Yumotoki Ami to invest in private goods, but the result is different from just outflows and investments.It is not immediate profit because it is a utility around the infrastructure, but these raise the living foundation of the Oguri people, and they return as tax revenues.

In these modern times, the policies that could be sown and torn apart and the excitement of the people coincided, so tailoring was supposed to carry out more active economic activities than usual.

In the meantime, the calendar was in May, and Keiji, Nagaoke, and Caiza, who were scattered all over the country, returned to Ogura with satisfaction.

Even after a long journey, those who returned, without exception, fell asleep like mud, and it was after noon the following day that they went to report to Shizuko.

As for Nagatsu, he was given territory and was able to remain there as a lord, but he handed over his full powers to his brother, Kelong, who is also the master of the forest house.

As long as there was a possibility of rebellion, he stayed and was not interested in the open territory.He was more interested in participating in the bloody Hojo crusade than in a stable lord's life.

"Well, thank you, everyone. Though you may have heard about it, Hojo's conquest has been postponed.It will probably be summer next, but then it will be Sakura-san's turn. "

Shizuko gathered all the people who returned together to work hard.Communicate the situation regarding Hojo's conquest and put it in front of me to speculate that the next expedition will be around summer.

With such a preparation period, we can adequately set up military stations, such as gathering to procure munitions.As a result of modernization, the Oda army boasts a relatively small number of highly capable fighters, but still consumes a huge amount of supplies when it comes to long-term expeditions.

In historical reality, as Napoleon Bonaparte of France said, "The army moves in the stomach."

"Dinner is not bad, but the taste is undeniable.I want to scrape up Oharu's delicious rice in a long time. "

Good liquor, too.

"You guys... that's what I'm talking about when I get home!"

In the words of Keiji and Nagaoke, Genzo shows how angry he is.Since food is the basis of life, I was careful not to get dissatisfied with it as Shizuko.

Still, there was room for improvement in the taste of military food, which had to focus on portability and conservation.With the deployment of a portable stove fuelled by methanol, it is a long way to go even if a warm meal is constantly consumed. However, dissatisfaction accumulates over a long period of time.

Even as static electrons, research on improving food grains continued, and in tailings where electrification and mechanization were advanced, the practical application of decompression cooling was becoming visible.When freeze-drying is possible, the dietary situation of military food is improved at once.

Until then, we will have to set up bases everywhere and aggregate them while connecting them through distribution.Alternatively, as the idea of reversal, there is a way to build a city in an important base and turn it into a production base.

Shizuko thought that it would be impossible to anticipate fighting on the frontlines and near the border, but the system of getting enough supplies when returning to the city in alternate shifts was not bad.

"I can't help being dissatisfied with my meal.It's been a long time since you finally got back, so please enjoy the taste of Ozaki.Because I have prepared something better than usual. "

"Shizuko Shizukuishi is quick to talk!I'm fresh meat.I'm sick and tired of salted gucci dried meat. "

"Hey, let's start with alcohol, huh? I'm glad there are dishes other than dried goods.Fresh sashimi and dry sake! "

"I've prepared both, so have fun.Please take a bath before that.I don't think you've noticed, but they all smell terrible. "

From Keiji and Nagaoke, the smell was stained.The sweat and dirt are wrapped in dirt, dust, steamed armor, horse smell, excrement, and other bad smells.

They are already numb in their sense of smell, so they are unconscious, but the stinking smell sticks into their nose just by being in the same room.

"Hmm? Are we that smelly?"

"No, it doesn't smell that bad, but if Shizuchi says so.Let's clean up first. "

Nagaoke lifted his arm around his nose and smelled the smell. Then he had a suspicious expression, but Kenji quickly stood up and went to the hot spring. Nagaoke followed him in a hurry.

After removing the dirt from the journey and returning to Shizuko's private room, Nagaoke dressed in the prepared costume, the others had already assembled.

Not to mention being satisfied with the talent, even 46 people went out after getting dressed, and I was a little embarrassed by my indifference, but I couldn't help but notice that I had a cool face until the next festival of my kind.

"I've read everyone's report.Sakazo-san is going to receive a report, but everyone else seems to have enjoyed it quite a bit. "

"It wasn't enough to overthrow our rule until we rebelled, but it was fun to see a battle unique to the people who were rooted in the ground.Speaking of which, I can't see Yoyoshi (about the Fujido Takatiger), but was he still in the West? "

"Yoyoshi-kun is still being packed by the West.Looks like you're trying and mistakenly running a unit with new technology, so you won't be back for a while. "

After looking at the faces of the meeting, Nagaoke noticed that there was no Takatiger and asked about it.Takatora is the only one close to Shizuko who is heading to the West and has been deprived of the opportunity to be active in the field, but he seems to be obsessed with new technologies and does not like such things.

Currently, we are supporting Hideyoshi's Maori offensive, and the power generation situation of those that are regularly reported is poor, so the use of telephones is restricted.

Although lead-acid storage batteries were connected to operate, daytime power generation did not catch up with consumption, and work to draw tributaries from the river to increase generators appeared to have begun.

"Is there a shortage of electricity?"

"Yeah, they keep eating electricity while we're working, just like we eat dinner every day to make a move."

"You work while you eat!I guess there were some pretty good workers. "

"Instead, I'll keep working with insomnia all the time.I've had a lot of fun in Sado, and the deputy who took over the scene had a blue face, but I don't think it's a problem because she didn't say anything. "

"Anyway, Uncle Satisfaction, everyone waved their full strength.You'll have to wait until you join the Hojo Clash, but there may not be a massive encounter between soldiers. "

"No problem. There is no place to honor yourself as a general, and even if you become a leftovers hunter, let's see you play a shameful role in the name of Shizuko."

"Genzakura can't be hard at all.From now on, if the cannons burst, the enemy soldiers will die in a bad mood and shit, and we won't bloom here anymore. "

Keiji slapped his mouth lightly and mixed up the conversation of Genzo.It is a genius warehouse that creates a traffic surface to the next story of Keiji-kun that even feels light, but when Keiji-kun lightly tapped the shoulder of the genius warehouse, he quickly left the room in one hand.

Even Nagaoke, who saw it, followed after he had just finished his errands.With a bitter smile on his face, Shizuko turned back to Gakura.

"It's not Keiji-san, but don't be discouraged and rush through to think of the end.It doesn't matter what my name is.I want you to enjoy Hojo as you wish. "

"My thoughts hurt. Let someone (do it) be a certain person and fight a shameful battle.Now, somebody will see how those two idiots don't take their wings off. "

Genzakura, who judged it dangerous to leave Keiji and Nagaoke feeling overwhelmed on their way home, left the room with a slippery step when she bowed her head deeply to Shizuko.

Only satisfaction and 46 are left, and Shizuko realizes that her shoulders have lost some strength.

"Uncle Satisfaction, good job on Sado Island.The deputy has received a regular report, and I heard that the trial of Aikawa Gold and Silver Mountain will begin today.Dear Sir, since it operates as a direct authority, I think that the uncle who performed the exposé will be rewarded. "

"If you say so, I'd rather have my legs turned than rewards.The more water you use for tailoring, the better it is to moisturize the Chita Peninsula and build a power plant... "

"I don't seem very interested in Sado.It seems that strict laws are laid down there, and discipline will be solemnly sought so that no one who fattens his or her stomach will come out.Besides, it's hard to get a large power plant like your uncle wants for the moment.If we stretch the grid, it will stand out, and for the time being, with a certain amount of water and a certain slope, we'll have to cover it with a spiral water wheel generator that can generate more electricity. "

If it comes true, I can't hide my itchy feelings in the plan that I can't move forward late as I'm happy to aim to electrify Oharu.Shizuko was watching the situation with warm eyes.

After receiving the return reports of each of them in a hurry, a group of people who joined Echigo were gathered again.In other words, as the representative of Kenji, 46, and Echigo momentum, they are four people who are both Kamikaze and Kenjo.

"First of all congratulations. You have endured the suffering of coal, and you have fulfilled your great wish."

"Thank you for your patience. I also know that Shizuko helped me."

Kazukatsu sincerely conveys his sincere gratitude for Shizuko's assistance, but the Shizuko herself received the social resignation of Kazukatsu, which is unusual, and the story is not subtly meshed.

Besides, Omijo-sama hasn't yet declared a successor.

The successor struggle between Jingsheng and Jinghu ended in Jingsheng's victory, but as the concurrent words put it, humility had not yet nominated a successor.

However, it is unlikely that Kagekatsu, the legitimate son, will be nominated as a successor until this point, and the Uesugi family ministers recognize Kagekatsu as the next principal.

"I can't guess Uesugi's wishes, but to appease Uesugi territory, it will be necessary to let the world know who will succeed him.I don't think so, but it's not unlikely that there will be anyone else who plans a disturbance by setting up a bystander. "

The house disturbance of the Uesugi family, known in historical reality as the "Disturbance of the Imperial Palace", has started with the sudden death of Humble without appointing a successor.

In the world, humility was still alive, and it was thought that if he nominated the scenic spot as the next main theme, confusion could be avoided.

However, even if the conflict between Jingsheng, who was a successor candidate, and Jinghu became apparent, he did not nominate the next principal.As Shizuko, I think there was a deliberate reluctance to be humble, but if chaos persists in the future, I will have to intervene as an Oda family.

"Echigo's appeasement is also important in Hojo's conquest, and it can be a factor shaking the reign of the Emperor.Please be careful to keep in touch with your parents as you may be prompted to fly. "

In order to attack Hojo without fear of backwardness, the presence of the Date family and the Uesugi family protecting the Oda family's backs in Echigo will be important in the future East China crusade.

According to Shizuko's guess, the faction chart of the Uesugi family is being renewed by the death of Kaihu, so I thought it would take some time for things to settle down.

"Thank you for your consideration.Until we hear from you, please keep it here and learn from Oharu's artifacts. "

"Yes, there are some strange positions to call hostages, but please stay at home."

Thank you. Happiness.

The scenery and continuity smiled a little at Shizuko, who said a little too much about the hostage.Their treatment is far from hostage-taking and they are well treated close to their guests.

I couldn't be completely free because I was a human being from another country, but I lived far from the hostage life imagined by the rest of us, that it was even possible to go out for a short period of time if I could even contact them with food, clothing, and shelter.

However, most of them are unlikely to spend any time away.I use it exclusively for part-time work, and when I roll out to Keiji and Hanazuki, which are in line with each other under the name of a "role model," I use it to collect information and play amusement.

"Before the banquet to celebrate everyone's safe return, shall I hear from Keiji and 46?"

That said, Shizuko turned to Keio and Shizuku.Four and Six have a magical look, but Kenji has a cool face like always.

As Shizuko, I have to reprimand Keiji for taking out the inheritance on my own, but I am only somewhat aware of the thoughts of 46 and the feelings of Keiji.

It is the theory of results that 46 returned safely, and Keiji, who is supposed to stop 46, must be punished for taking him on a dangerous journey.

Nevertheless, if a too heavy disposition were taken, 46 who would have asked Keiji to follow them would blame themselves, and even the reluctant behavior of 46 could have shrunk.

Shizuko tightens her heart when it comes to spoonfulness.

"Well, if there's an opening, let's hear it."

In the meantime, I tried to pull a spontaneous offer from them with the intention of a light jab.

However, since Keiji is prepared to take responsibility for his actions, he does not make any excuses.

"I'm not going to open my mouth.When I decided to take 46, I was prepared to punish them. "

"Very well. Ask 46, why did you force Keiji to do it without consulting me?"

"Yes, I wanted to feel 'death' on my skin.And I thought it would never come true as long as I was under my mother's protection. "

"Yes, I understand your feelings.So, what did you get from this? "

And forty and six came with due preparedness, and even after the celebration of the second time the blame was upon him, he pushed through his own soul.If there was nothing to gain from this, it would be the apex of foolishness.

"Before I was picked up by my mother, 'death' was always beside me.Even more powerless than I am now, I watched the expression of the mamma, the mighty man in charge of the slaughter, scratching the algae in an attempt to get away from death even a little.But now that I succeed my mother, I am in a position to be strong and even order my men to die.I didn't think I could do it now that I was wrapped in a big arm called Mother's Shelter. "

"Hmm. You're saying you can't be my heir?"

"No, no, I want to be the heir to the Great Mother.But I'm not ready to be here safely.If we put ourselves in a situation where we could feel "death" again, we would return to our sense of smell of that dark and cold death, and we acted as if we would not know if we were ready. "

"Yes, was it worth it?"

Shizuko answered the question silently.

"Alright, I don't know what the Four Six grabbed, but if I'm ready to show it over my whole life, I don't need any more words.Forty-six, you must continue to show it to others over the course of your life, it is the path of Shura.You can still turn back now, but you're saying it's still going on? "

Shizuko asked again with caution.46 stared straight at Shizuko and nodded decisively.

"Okay, I'll tell them what to do."

I am honestly delighted that 46 acted on his own will and grew up learning.But that's not good enough to break the rules.Because there are no politicians who follow the rules.

"I'm not going to punish you so severely.Forty-six is forbidden to go out until I say good.In the meantime, please submit to me what you learned in the library every day.And I'm ordering Keiji-san to stop going out and stop drinking for half a month from tomorrow. "

"Do you mind if we start tomorrow?"

"According to the theory of results, 46 survived safely, and the person said that there was growth.In other words, Mr. Keiji won the bet.However, it seems that there was a fraud, so I will only ask you to put it down about it.Above all, there's a banquet today, so it's not so demonic that you can stop drinking at a banquet to celebrate your return to life. "

Both Keiji and Shizuko thought that Shizuko would naturally disagree, and left a letter.However, if 46 wished to go along without such imitation, they would have granted permission after the next consultation in Keio.

The exact age of 46 is unknown due to the special nature of births.However, when you finish your original uniform, you are considered an adult in society.Among children, such as mid-degrees, according to modern values, they are treated as one person in the world of the Sengoku.

Parents don't have to talk to each other about a single adult's decision.If you are asked for advice, you will be given it, but if the person is prepared to make a decision, it will be the parents who gently push your back.

"Punishment is formalistic, so it's square -"

The words of Shizuko, who tried to say that they were unnecessary, were never uttered.It seems that Keiji and Kaiseki were noticed before Shizuko, and each of them is already ready to jump out at any time.

Only one person, 46, could not go about the changes around and ate bubbles.Still realizing that rough footsteps were approaching, Shizuko and Shizuko retreated to the place where they were sheltered.

"Excuse me! Shizuko, the news of the fire has arrived."

"It's all right, report it."

From the other side, which separated the pieces, a rushed voice of the surname jumped in.From the sound of wheezing, I understood that it was a matter of contention for a moment.

"Ha! The Honganji Church refused to leave and marched into the temple!"

Shizuko was calm when she received the report because her last name was not enough to breathe roughly.

"Got it. Do you know how many soldiers the Christians have and how many are armed?"

"It seems that the Church leads countless monks and soldiers, and also brings in a lot of armor and arrows.According to visual reports, it was comparable before disarming. "

Shizuko had been stepping on the possibility of some sort of rebellion since the time when Taoist Ru had gone blind.I fought a lot for it, and I didn't miss my guard.

In fact, Ishiyama Honganji Temple was surrounded by the hands of the Oda army, and many personnel were dispatched from the Shizuko army.Therefore, it was only suspicious that Church Ru had entered Honganji Temple even though it did not break the siege.

"The area around Honganji Temple should have been surrounded by his army.Was there a direct fight? "

"Suddenly, a group appeared in Honganji Temple.I suspect there may have been an undiscovered passage. "

Ishiyama Honganji Temple was managed by Shimotsuma Rakon, who betrayed the former samurai, and the departure of the disciples was completed and handed over to Nobunaga.

When Ishiyama Honganji surrendered to Nobunaga, officials dispatched from the court prior to the surrender from the relationship that asked the court to mediate were supposed to inspect the premises and be handed over to Nobunaga after the safety was confirmed.

The Honganji Gate and the Oda Army have fought directly several times and both sides have agreed to negotiate under mediation by a third party, the Imperial Court.

Reporting that the exit of the Honganji Gate had been completed, the officials dispatched from the mediation asked the Oda army to lift the siege in order to examine the interior, and the Oda army that received it lifted some of the siege and let the mediation messenger into the Honganji Temple.

Subsequently, a disturbance erupted at the tip of an arrow that had been subject to internal confirmation while receiving several days of periodic reports.

"Have you confirmed the safety of the Apostle from the Imperial Court?"

"After the monks who call themselves religious have closed the gates, there has been no news of the safety of the Messenger."

"Then the Apostle must act as if he is no longer in the world or the worst hostage ever.Could it be that the Apostle conspired to bring in the Ecclesiastes? "

"Ha! Don't say so many things.If anyone who hears that word leaks it, it's a matter of responsibility! "

Shizuko suddenly let go of her last name.My lord Shizuko must have seen Echigo's hostages indoors.Even if I bought it as a subordinate, I was desperate to stop it.

"It doesn't matter, the Apostle of the 19th century and the Church are in a conspiracy relationship.Anything is too convenient.Well, that's not all I've judged, but it's good. "

"Um... so what do we do?"

"Surely my subordination has suppressed my obvious and inexpensive personality.I don't think you've handed them over yet to Sanjiro Kobe, so tell him to transfer them to my Keiya shiki as soon as possible.I will explain to Kobe-sama, so the first priority is to ensure their safety. "

Ha!

"Tell the guards to protect their lives.Especially if overt lives are taken, it will be an undesirable situation for you, so I will allow you to take out all your weapons to put an end to all difficulties. "

"I understand. Now, if you'll excuse me."

When Shizuko's last name was told, she turned her heel and left.When the footsteps turned down the hallway, Shizuko exhaled relieved.

You're in trouble.

"I don't see you in trouble at all."

Even though I said I was in trouble, I saw Shizuko without breaking her attitude, and the scenic beauty burst into it unexpectedly.Keiji didn't seem to care at all whether he was accustomed to such a still child.

"No, I'm (...) in trouble.I wish you'd abandoned your ambitions and come forward to save me a lot of trouble. "

"I don't know. Are you saying that the rebellion at Honganji Temple is only a hassle if you call Shizuko?Then we will spend the rest of our lives without bothering you. "

"You won't have to ask me anything else, but you'll also need time off.Oh, yes. If you have any wishes about the banquet, please tell me now.I have cooking arrangements. "

"Will there be a banquet in this situation?!What perseverance. There is no particular hope from us, we will give it to your partner as usual. "

Shizuko herself didn't see anything as if she was upset, but it might still be difficult to talk in the presence of outsiders, so Kaiseki and Kazumari quit the room.

As Shizuko told me, when they learned about the disturbances at Honganji Temple, there was nothing to be ashamed of because there were no defects on this side.Rather, it was convenient because it became a witness that there was a problem on the Honganji side that broke the agreement.

"That's just right. Let's make it a 46 challenge."

"Yes, yes."

"It doesn't matter.It's just a good teaching material, so it's good enough to work on the test. "

46 said he wanted to succeed Shizuko.It would be the job of the parents to get as much experience as possible.

When sudden problems arise, it is the training of politicians to always think about how to deal with them if they are themselves.Once you get used to it, you will be able to deal with yourself objectively without panic when unexpected things happen.

I do not want to cause extra hardship, but the moderate trial will become 46 pieces of flesh and blood to connect the living.

"One. I have instructed you to secure an open and trustworthy identity, but what do you think of the aim of this?"

"I hear that Christianity is a manifest birth child.I know that if I can secure my father's identity and ask religion to surrender, I can avoid extra fighting. "

"Christianity already knows the obvious.We will not respond to further calls for surrender now.I'm sure I'll give you death where I want to. "

After Shizuko pointed it out, 46 thought again.When you wake up, there is no way to help like a religion, then fighting is inevitable, so you need to change your perspective.

There was something flashing to think about the advantages of being visible.

"... if manifestation dies, the Gates of Honganji will have no choice but to martyr like a religion."

Shizuko smiled at the words she uttered.

"The pronounced presence symbolizes the defeat of Honganji Temple.Regardless of how Church Ru flies, it can be excused that the disciples of aversion follow a manifest policy.But when Akira died, he said, "Akira was deceived by the Oda family, Honganji Gatekeeper, get up!"But if we're sent off the signal, we could always have an outbreak everywhere."

"On the contrary, if the Oda family shows that they are protecting the manifestation, they will expose the world to the fact that there is no cause in religion!"

"Correct. If there is no cause in religion, we can cook anything.If we avoid this bleeding, we may be able to stand up and confront each other at Honganji Temple. "

"... isn't that a bone-flesh dispute between Honganji Temples?"

"However, you should not take this option.Unless Obvious actively claims to conquer the Church, we will leave the root cause as if we plotted it.The reason for the defeat was to stand in Ishiyama Honganji Temple, which is close to both Onari and Yasudo, even in a far eastern country. "

"How would Mother handle it?"

"Isn't that a challenge?What would be the best thing to do if it were 46?Look at our hand, the other hand's hand, and the imperial court's thoughts. "

Keiji felt the bond between the parents and the child in the shape of Shizuko who said that and gently smiled and desperately narrowed down his wisdom to meet his expectations.
